“The Landlady”
Writing Assignment
Worth 50 points
Pretend you are Billy and you are staying in the bed and breakfast. As you go
up to bed after tea, you decide to write a letter to a friend or relative
expressing your growing concern that something is not right with your
situation.
In your letter, include five clues (examples of foreshadowing) that are making
you nervous about staying in the bed and breakfast. Express your concerns
but do not change the plot. You cannot, for example, throw the tea in the
landlady's face and make a run for it.
